They got a ranch they call number fifty-one They got a ranch they call number fifty-one You can't see it all unless you're flying by Just sitting there, square, baking in the sun beneath the sky They're gonna put it down right on the strip They're gonna put it down on the Vegas strip They're gonna put it down and step outside Into the lights, right out of that ship, saying "hi" I was driving, doing nothing on the shoes of Great Salt Lake When they put it on the air, I put it in the hammer lane I soon forgot myself and I forgot about the brake I forgot about all laws and I forgot about the rain They were talking on the 9 and all across the army band
Across the road they were turning around and headed south with me It got so crowded on the road, I started driving on the sand My head was feeling scared but my heart was feeling free The desert turned to mud, it seemed that everybody heard Everybody was remembering to forget they had the chills Then I heard the voices on a broadcast from up on the bird They were getting interviewed by some good man whose name was Bill I'm almost there to Vegas where they're putting on a show They've come so far, I've lived this long, at least I must just go and say hello
